A Busy Christmas

This year we spent Christmas in NJ with Jenn's family. On the way there we were cursed (again) by the travel gods, and were stuck in O'hare airport for 7 hours. We ended up buying a one day pass to the AA Admirals Club so that we could get some peace and quiet and a place for Chloe to roll around. It was well worth it.


The gift exchange this year was a bit different. We all picked names and either made or re-gifted something to a person. There were TONS of gifts under the tree, as well as many laughs.


My oldest brother, Eric, won the award for best gift given. He works in the printing industry and made an ENORMOUS poster of himself for Paul and Jon. We laughed for about 10 minutes after this gift was opened.


After gifts were opened....the traditional Andersen Christmas breakfast of scrambled eggs, Swedish tea ring and fruit soup...for 19 people.


Nana bought Chloe and Ella matching dresses for Christmas. This is the closest picture we could get where someone wasn't crying!


The day after Christmas, Mom and Dad treated us all to Cirque du Soliel at Madison Square Garden.


After all the festivities, we were all tuckered out, but it was a great trip!
